Hold up—Kristen Stewart is ready to take us back to Forks… but this time, behind the camera! That’s right: the beloved Bella Swan might just return to the world of vampires, werewolves, and moody teen love—this time, in a director’s chair. And, spoiler alert: she’s all in.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Stewart was asked whether she would consider returning to Twilight, the franchise that made her an international sensation. Her answer? Straight to the point: “Imagine if we had a huge budget and a bunch of love and support. I would love to readapt—yeah, sure, I’ll do the remake. I’m doing it. I’m committed.” Talk about a plot twist.
A Look Back at Twilight’s Legacy
Stewart, who famously played Bella Swan across five Twilight films from 2008 to 2012, reflected on the impact of the original movies and how the directors of the saga left their unique imprint. “I love what all of the directors did with the movies,” she said. “But they were so themselves and weird and kind of like squirrelly and just so present in that time when they didn’t really know what they were yet, before they blew up.”

For those who missed it (are you living under a rock?), the Twilight saga may have gotten mixed-to-poor reviews from critics, but it became a cultural juggernaut, making over $3.3 billion worldwide. Stewart and Robert Pattinson—who portrayed the iconic Edward Cullen—became household names, and we were all forced to pick sides in the Team Jacob vs. Team Edward debate.
Stewart’s Evolution: From Bella to Oscar Nominee
Since wrapping up her role as Bella Swan, Stewart has traded in her vampire fangs for some seriously diverse roles. From playing a tortured princess Diana in Spencer (which earned her an Oscar nomination) to starring in offbeat indie films like Personal Shopper and Crimes of the Future, Stewart has proven she’s not afraid to take risks. She’s also expanded into directing, having helmed short films, music videos, and even the paranormal reality series Living for the Dead.
The Big Question: Twilight Reboot or No?
But Twilight fans (and, let’s face it, all of us) can’t help but wonder: could a reboot be on the horizon? With Stewart’s commitment to directing it herself, could a fresh take on the Twilight world be more than just a fangirl’s dream?
Stewart has made it clear that she doesn’t want to erase what came before; she respects what the original directors achieved. However, with her evolving career behind the scenes—she made her feature directing debut in 2025 with the critically acclaimed The Chronology of Water—it seems like she’s ready to apply her vision to the Twilight universe, with the full backing of a modern Hollywood budget and the kind of love and support that only a reboot could provide.
“I’m doing it. I’m committed,” she says. So, who’s ready to see Kristen Stewart take the reins of Twilight 2.0?
Is a Reboot What We Need?
Let’s be real: no matter what happens, a fresh Twilight project with Stewart at the helm would undoubtedly be filled with her signature flair for depth and intensity. Maybe it’s time to trade in the angst-filled teen romance for something a little more grown-up, a little more queer, and—who are we kidding—way more fashionable. So, here’s the question: Would you want a Twilight reboot, or are we better off leaving the past in the past? Maybe we’ll get hotter vampires, angrier werewolves, and way more drama—Kristen Stewart style. Who wouldn’t want that?
